Think you're a mountain all-rounder, this is what Berghaus athlete Philippe Gatta got up and up to in 2011!

We just got a link to this stunning video put together by Berghaus sponsored athlete Philippe Gatta showing the highlights of his 2011. The mad thing about the Frenchman, is that he's technically a mountain runner, but in reality he's a proper all-round mountain athlete.
Last year he climbed 8586m Kangchenjunga - not bad for a runner - raced across the Sahara, climbed hard rock in the Calanques and the Dolomites, visited Lapland, Nice and the Mercantour and even found time to be filmed for the Berghaus TV advert - he's the fella running along the narrow mountain ridge, the footage is in the video above.
It's cracking, inspirational collection of video footage and we want his job...
More about Philippe on his own web site at www.philippegatta.fr and at www.berghaus.com/community/?cat=138. Enjoy.
